Excerpt from Confidential Correspondence of the British Government Respecting the Insurrection in Poland 1863 This volume is a reprint of confidential documents of the British Foreign Office concerning the diplomatic action relating to the Polish insurrection of 1863. The original copy of the collection reprinted here has the same title and date as the Parliamentary Paper (C. 3150) published by the British Government in the year 1863, and covers the same subject. But the volume which we reproduce differs from the Parliamentary Paper in its contents, and, in the particulars of the title page, by the remarks: "Printed for the use of the Foreign Office" and: "Confidential." Whereas the Confidential Book presents an unbroken chain of the diplomatic correspondence referring to the events connected with the Polish insurrection for the first quarter of 1863, the Parliamentary Paper, dealing with the same period, contains out of a total of 443 documents only 170, and many of these in fragments. The original copy of the Confidential Book is now to be found in the library of the Academy of Science in Cracow. As far as I was able to ascertain, there is no duplicate of it in any of the great public libraries in London, or in special collections like the Russell Collection in the British Library of Political Science. The documents of the Foreign Office, placed in the Public Record Office, are accessible to the public up to the year 1831, and for those having special permits up to 1861, so that the period of time to which the documents relate remains still sealed by official secrecy. When, in a course of a few years, special permits are extended to the year 1863, students of that period will still be by no means sure of giving to the public all that they think important, as they are expected to submit their notes and extracts to the Foreign Office before being allowed to print them. So far as it appears from the catalogue of the documents in the Public Record Office, the Confidential book is not there, although some letters of Lord Napier, British Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, mentioned in the catalogue but inaccessible to the public, may be those printed in the Confidential Book; but this, of course, I have not been able to verify. The original is, in all probability, a unique volume except for those which are preserved in the archives of the Foreign Office. The reprint is an exact copy of the original; almost too exact, as some obviously misspelt names are left uncorrected.

Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
